I start in base 2 and say 1. The next person would increase the base and increase the count (so the next post would be base 3, 2). Since we don't have an infinite amount of characters we'll use base 2 through base 16, resetting each time we reach base 16.*

So I guess this thread is pretty boring until we get to our base cap. Are we still sticking with only up to base 16? We could go up to base 90 with a normal qwerty keyboard without resorting to unicode.
